Change the drying time

You may wish to change the drying time setting to suit special printing conditions such as multiple prints

where time is of higher importance or when you need to be sure ink is dry before handling.

Press

, then

, then Setup > Print retrieval > Drying time. You can select:

Extended, to set a longer than recommended time to ensure ink is completely dry

Optimal, to set the default and recommended time for your selected paper (this is the default setting)

Reduced, to set a shorter than recommended time when quality is of lower importance

None, to disable the drying time and remove your print as soon as it finishes printing

CAUTION:

If the ink is not dry when the print is removed it could leave ink in the output tray and marks on

the print.

NOTE:

If you cancel the drying time during a print, the printer may not feed and cut the paper right away

due to the printhead maintenance, which runs in parallel. If the dry time is zero, the printer cuts the paper

and then performs the printhead maintenance. However, if the dry time is greater than zero, the printer does

not cut the paper until after the printhead maintenance has completed.

Change the retrieval time

You may wish to add some time after drying in which you can pick up the print before the next job starts.

Press

, then

, then Setup > Print retrieval > Retrieval time.
